No other kid ney remedy that I know of has so large a sale." * According to sworn statements and * verified testimony of thousands who have used tho preparation, the suc cess of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Hoot is due to the fact that it fulfills almost every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder diseases, corrects urinary troubles and neutralizes the tilde acid which causes rheumatism.
